PIX 525 - Turbo ACL

[connect]

Hi,

Turbo ACL is enabled on PIX 525 which H/W & S/W config details are,

Hardware: PIX-525, 256 MB RAM, CPU Pentium III 600 MHz

Flash E28F128J3 @ 0x300, 16MB

BIOS Flash AM29F400B @ 0xfffd8000, 32KB

Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(4)

ACL compilation taking almost 99% utilisation whenever there is a change in ACL. Also there is an error message in console " Not enough memory to compile Turbo ACL"

Please let me know,

1. Compilation will be done based on ACL hit counts (with any time intervals) or only when there is a change in ACL list.

2. Is there any Hardware pre-requisites for enabling Turbo ACL.To avoid high CPU utili.

Require your help,

Thanks in advance.

It is quite likely that you are running into CSCdz18345 '100,000+ ACL causes crash during turboacl compilation'. The workaround seems to be to disable turbo ACL with the no access-list compiled command.
